Embodiment Construction

[0043] figure 1 In a simplified schematic illustration, the method for tinnitus characterization, ie for determining the relevant persons 6 ( figure 2 ) tinnitus noise 4 ( image 3 , Figure 4 ) device 2. The device 2 mainly includes a controller 8 and a display unit 10 as a control device, and an earphone 12 .

[0044] During tinnitus characterization, the tinnitus noise4( image 3 , Figure 4 ) of one or each perceived tinnitus frequency 14 and its respective associated (tinnitus) amplitude 16. To this end, the person concerned 6 wears headphones 12 so that he is as insensitive as possible to the sound signals from the environment during the characterization. By means of a signal generator controlled by the controller 8 , a broadband test signal 18 is generated and broadcast as an acoustic or audio signal to the person concerned 6 by means of headphones 12 .

[0045] The person concerned 6 compares the presented test signal 18 with the perceived tinnitus noise 4 , wh...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating a device for tinnitus characterization and a corresponding device. In the method for operating the device (2) for tinnitus characterization, in a first method step (46) a broadband test signal (18) with a plurality of signal frequencies is generated and compared with the tinnitus noise (4) , wherein the corresponding test signal is stored together with the associated comparison result (20b), and wherein a probabilistic correlation (44) for determining the tinnitus noise is determined from the stored test signal and the comparison result, wherein, in the second method varying the amplitude of each signal frequency of the test signal in step (26), wherein the first and second method steps (46, 26) are repeated until the probability correlation reaches or exceeds a first threshold (50), and wherein , in a third method step (62), the amplitudes of the individual signal frequencies of the test signal are varied according to the probability dependence.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for operating a device for tinnitus characterization and a corresponding device. Background technique [0002] Severe hearing loss as a hearing impairment often triggers a neuroplastic reorganization of the central auditory system in the brain of the person concerned and is therefore often the cause and cause of the (chronic) tinnitus that occurs. [0003] Tinnitus or tinnitus is generally understood as all types of head or ear noises not caused by ambient sound signals entering the ear. Tinnitus, while not dangerous, places a heavy burden on many involved. For example, it interferes with concentration and causes problems falling asleep. Therefore, especially chronic tinnitus often leads to serious psychological problems and thus sometimes negatively affects the professional and social life of the person concerned. [0004] Noise devices (tinnitus noise cancellers, audio stimulators, tinnitus control devices, tinnit...
